Stuck on switch statement

After having the user put in thier race id like them to select thier class. Selecting a class adds a few points to hp, str, ect. I'm stuck tho as how to do it. i tried doing something like

switch(input("Please choose your class") in list("paladin"))
if("paladin")
character +=1 /mob/var/hp

But that doesnt seem to work. Here is my code.

mob/var
hp
str
dex
int
ac


mob/create_character
var/mob/character
Login()
var/charactername = input("Please choose a name" , src.key)
switch(input("Please choose your class") in list("human","wood elf", "half elf","barbarian","Comunian","dwarf","gnome","kenian"))
if("human")
character = new /mob/human() // make char human
if("wood elf")
character = new /mob/wood_elf() //make char elf
if("half elf")
character = new /mob/half_elf() // make char half elf
if("barbarian")
character = new /mob/barbarian() // make char barbarian
if("comunian")
character = new /mob/comunian() // make char comunian
if("dwarf")
character = new /mob/dwarf() // make char dwarf
if("gnome")
character = new /mob/gnome() // make char gnome
if("kenian")
character = new /mob/kenian() // make char kenian
character.name = charactername
src.client.mob = character //change player to race
del(src)
switch(input("Please choose your class") in list("paladin"))
if("paladin")
character +=1 /mob/var/hp

Try changing
 character +=1 /mob/var/hp

to
 src.hp+=1

I'll try that. thanks
Should i put
switch(input("Please choose your class") in list("paladin"))
if("paladin")
src.hp+=1

before or after

character.name = charactername
src.client.mob = character
del(src)

In response to Punkitten

And make del(src) into del(character).

Please use 
<dm>
tags.
mob/create_character
    var/mob/character
    Login()
        ..() // Do the normal first (map creation, ...)
        var/charactername = input("Please choose a name" , src.key)
        var/a=(input("Please choose your class") in list("human","wood_elf", "half_elf","barbarian","Comunian","dwarf","gnome","kenian"))//Just make a nonsense var that'll help later on
        var/b=text2path("/mob/[a]")//Set b to a path (mob/[a]). As the name says, it changes text to a path.
        character = new b() // since b will be a path, create it
        switch(input(src,/*Add src, here. Else it will default to usr*/"Please choose your class") in list("paladin"))
            if("paladin")
                src.hp+=1
        character.name=charactername
        src.client.mob=character //change player to race
        del(src)


Shortened, added '..()' (VERY important!), fixed some usr abuse (check input()).

Hum..I'm so confused lol

Do i start a new switch statement for the class selection?

What does at a= and b= do?

and new b?

You need to understand how objects work.

/mob/paladin/ is a type path, and is not something actually physically IN the world. You can CREATE a physical entity by doing something like this:
new /mob/paladin/()


If you want to do anything to that particular entity, you'll need a variable to reference it by:
var/mob/paladin/P = new()


Now 'P' will be how you can identify that particular paladin. You can then tweak its variables:

P.hp += 1

Some people need to figure out how to display the <dm> tags in plain text. Here's how you do it.

&lt;dm> which will turn out as <dm>. &lt; is the ASCII representation for the < symbol and &gt; is the ASCII representation for the > symbol. You can find a full list here.

Hm...well it skips over the class selection completely. It doesnt even ask what class id'd like to be. I think im going to told off of that part till i learn some more about the lnaguage

Riddler, though some of them are filled with usr abuse / src abuse (in verbs! :| ) and boolean variables. I suggest that you remake those all again. :/

You also handle the hosting tutorial horribly.
